DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

FIG. 1 is a flow schematic diagram of a multi-touch positioning method provided by a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the present embodiment can comprise following steps.

Step 101: a first infrared ray generator set at a first angle of a display panel emits infrared rays at a first wavelength, and a second infrared ray generator set at a second angle emits infrared rays at a second wavelength.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the multi-touch positioning method provided by the first embodiment of the present invention. The first angle and the second angle are adjacent angles, as shown in FIG. 2. An infrared ray generator 10 and an infrared ray generator 11 locate at two angles of the display panel respectively, as shown by a point A and a point B in FIG. 2. Emission angles of the infrared ray generator 10 and the infrared ray generator 11 are both greater than or equal to 90 degrees so as to cover the whole display panel (for example, if the emission angle of the infrared ray generator 10 is 90 degrees, it is ∠BAD in FIG. 2; if the emission angle of the infrared ray generator 11 is 90 degrees, it is ∠ABC in FIG. 2), and wavelengths of the infrared ray generator 10 and the infrared ray generator 11 are different, for example, the wavelengths thereof can be 940 nm and 880 nm, respectively. An infrared ray image sensor 12 and an infrared ray image sensor 13 are infrared ray image sensors corresponding to the infrared ray generator 10 and the infrared ray generator 11 respectively, and locate at opposite angles of angles at which the infrared ray generator 10 and the infrared ray generator 11 are located, respectively, as shown by a point C and a point D in FIG. 2. Wavelengths of the infrared ray image sensor 12 and the infrared ray image sensor 13 are identical with the corresponding wavelengths of the infrared ray generator 10 and the infrared ray generator 11, that is, the wavelengths of the infrared ray image sensor 12 and the infrared ray generator 10 are identical, and the wavelengths of the infrared ray image sensor 13 and the infrared ray generator 11 are identical. Sensing angles of the infrared ray image sensor 12 and the infrared ray image sensor 13 are greater than or equal to 90 degrees so as to cover the whole display panel (for example, if the sensing angle of the infrared ray image sensor 12 is 90 degrees, it is ∠BCD in FIG. 2; if the sensing angle of the infrared ray image sensor 13 is 90 degrees, it is ∠ADC in FIG. 2).

Step 102: a first infrared ray image sensor set at an opposite angle of the first angle receives the infrared rays of the first wavelength and generates a first infrared ray image, and a second infrared ray image sensor set at an opposite angle of the second angle receives the infrared rays of the second wavelength and generates a second infrared ray image.

In FIG. 2, filters can be set in front of lens of the infrared ray image sensors 12 and 13 for filtering out light waves outside wavelength ranges corresponding to the infrared ray image sensors 12 and 13, so that imaging on the infrared ray image sensors 12 and 13 is not interfered. The infrared ray image sensors 12 and 13 can adopt Charge Coupled Device (CCD) image sensors used in digital cameras, or adopt Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors. In the present invention, a requirement for sensing frequencies of the infrared ray image sensors 12 and 13, i.e., frequencies for collecting image data, is that the sensing frequencies are not lower than refreshing rate of image displayed on the display panel. For example, the sensing frequency of the infrared ray image sensors 12 and 13 can be set as 120 Hz, because at present refreshing rates of images displayed by most display panels are lower than or equal to 120 Hz. It must be explained that the infrared ray images generated herein in the step 102 are analog infrared ray images; when adopting the CCD image sensor or the CMOS image sensor, only electrons are generated in CCD devices or CMOS devices of corresponding sensors after sensing the infrared rays, and there is no image in physical sense. We refer to the process of generating electrons in the CCD devices or the CMOS devices of the corresponding sensors after the CCD image sensor or the CMOS image sensor senses the infrared rays as generating infrared ray images only for the sake of convenience in description.

Step 103: processings for the first infrared ray image and the second infrared ray image are performed to determine at least one touch point, wherein the processings for the first infrared ray image and the second infrared ray image comprise identification processing and touch point position recognition processing. The identification processing can be implemented by means of subsequently determining a first marking position and a second marking position belonging to a same touch point.

In the present embodiment, the processings for the infrared ray images can comprise image correction, analog to digital conversion, discrimination processing, etc.

The present embodiment captures touch signals by using the infrared ray generators set at two adjacent angles of the display panel and the infrared ray image sensors set at opposite angles of the two adjacent angles, to enable the touch screen to recognize multiple touch points simultaneously and achieve a multi-touch positioning function of the touch screen; accuracy for recognizing the touch points is high, and the method is easy to carry out.

FIG. 3 is a flow schematic diagram of step 103 in the multi-touch positioning method provided by the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the step 103 in the present embodiment can further comprise following steps.

Step 301: image correction processing is performed for the first infrared ray image and the second infrared ray image.

Since different lens may generate different distortions, resulting in decrease in image brightness of areas around the lens, so that the collected image data is distorted. Therefore, the distortion can be removed by performing the image correction processing for the generated infrared ray images.

Step 302: analog to digital conversion is performed for the first infrared ray image and the second infrared ray image subjected to the image correction processing, to generate a first digital image and a second digital image.

Since the generated infrared ray images are analog signals, they have to be subjected to the analog to digital conversion to become digital signals, in order to be processed in digital processing devices such as digital signal processors, etc.

Step 303: discrimination processing is processed for the first digital image and the second digital image, to obtain a first projection position in the first digital image for the touch point and a second projection position in the second digital image for the touch point.

FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram of a correspondence relationship between a digital image and touch area in a general situation in the multi-touch positioning method provided by the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram of a correspondence relationship between the digital image and the touch area in a specific situation in the multi-touch positioning method provided by the first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 13, an area 50 and an area 51 correspond to digital images of two fingers. Then, corresponding touch areas are obtained by analysis according to the digital images, as shown by an area 52 and an area 53. Projection position of the touch point in the digital image can be further determined according to the touch area, for example, a center point of the touch area is selected as the projection position of the touch point in the digital image. In special situations in which the finger is very close to the infrared ray image sensor, a touch finger corresponds to a very large digital image, as shown by an area 60 in FIG. 14. At this moment, an area 61 in a central portion of the digital image can be selected as the touch area, and the projection position of the touch point in the digital image is further determined according to the area 61, for example, a center point of the touch area is selected as the projection position of the touch point in the digital image.

Step 304: a position of the touch point is obtained according to the first projection position and the second projection position.

FIG. 4 is a flow schematic diagram of step 304 in the multi-touch positioning method provided by the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the step 304 in the present embodiment can further comprise following steps.

Step 401: a first marking position is generated on a second diagonal according to the first projection position, and a second marking position is generated on a first diagonal according to the second projection position, wherein the first diagonal is a connecting line between a vertex of the first angle (i.e., the angle at which the first infrared ray generator is located) and a vertex of the opposite angle of the first angle, and the second diagonal is a connecting line between a vertex of the second angle (i.e., the angle at which the second infrared ray generator is located) and a vertex of the opposite angle of the second angle.

Referring to FIG. 2, a point E′ is a marking position of a touch point E on a diagonal BD, and a point E″ is a marking position of a touch point E on a diagonal AC.

Here, we provide a method for the identification processing. When multiple touch points exist, there are multiple first marking positions and multiple second marking positions. Firstly, it has to determine to which first marking position and which second marking position each touch point corresponds respectively. For each touch point, a connecting line between the first marking position and the corresponding infrared ray sensor and a connecting line of a side at which the infrared ray sensor is located form an included angle α, and a connecting line between the second marking position and the corresponding infrared ray sensor and a connecting line of a side at which the infrared ray sensor is located form an included angle η. When multiple touch points exist, multiple angles α and multiple angles η will present. A first marking position and a second marking position belonging to a touch point can be determined as long as a pair of angles α and η belonging to that touch point is determined. Hereinafter, a method for determining angles α and η belonging to one touch point is explained by taking FIG. 15 as an example. FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram of an identification processing method in a specific situation in the multi-touch positioning method provided by the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 15, for each touch point, one quadrangle is constructed by taking the touch point, a first marking position corresponding to the touch point, a second marking position corresponding to the touch point, and a center point of a display area (i.e., an intersection point of a first diagonal and a second diagonal) as vertexes. In the quadrangle, there exist following relationships: angle 1=α+η, angle 2=180−(γ+η), angle 3=2 arctg(W/L), angle 4=180−(α+β),

wherein W is a width of the display area of the touch screen, L is a length of the display area of the touch screen, angle γ, angle β, angle 3 can be determined by lengths of sides of the display area, and angle γ=angle β=arctg (W/L), which is a known angle.

When the angle 1 and the angle 2 calculated from a pair of angles α and η selected from the multiple angles α and the multiple angles η satisfy (angle 1+angle 2+angle 3+angle 4)≠360, the angle α and the angle η correspond to a same touch point, so that the first marking position and the second marking position corresponding to the touch point are determined according to the angle α and the angle η. If (angle 1+angle 2+angle 3+angle 4)≠360, then the angle α and the angle η do not correspond to the same touch point, and a combination of the angle α and the angle η is re-selected to perform validation.

Step 402: a first linear function is generated according to a position of the first infrared ray image sensor (i.e., a position of the vertex of the opposite angle of the first angle) and the first marking position, and a second linear function is generated according to a position of the second infrared ray image sensor (i.e., a position of the vertex of the opposite angle of the second angle) and the second marking position.

Referring to FIG. 2, a function of a straight line CE′ can be obtained according to a position of the point C and a position of the point E′, and a function of a straight line DE″ can be obtained according to a position of the point D and a position of the point E″.

Step 403: coordinates of the touch point are obtained according to the first linear function and the second linear function.

Referring to FIG. 2, the touch point E is an intersection point of the straight line CE′ and the straight line DE″, and thus coordinates of the touch point E can be obtained by solving a common solution of the function of the straight line CE′ and the function of the straight line DE″, that is, position information of the touch point E is obtained.

In the present embodiment, a method for obtaining position information of another touch point F in FIG. 2 is the same to the method for obtaining the position information of the touch point E, and is omitted herein. Further, the present embodiment can also have multiple touch points (not shown in the figure), and methods for obtaining position information of each of the touch points are all the same to the method for obtaining the position information of the touch point E.

Alternatively, in the first embodiment, the second embodiment and the third embodiment of the multi-touch positioning method of the present invention, the first angle and the second angle may also be opposite angles, that is, the first infrared ray generator and the second infrared ray generator may also be set oppositely. At this time, the first infrared ray image sensor is located at an opposite angle of the angle at which the first infrared ray generator is located, and the second infrared ray image sensor is located at an opposite angle of the angle at which the second infrared ray generator is located. When the first angle and the second angle are opposite angles, a flow schematic diagram of the multi-touch positioning method may be the same as the flow schematic diagram of the multi-touch positioning method provided by the first embodiment of the present invention as shown in FIG. 1, or may be the same as the flow schematic diagram of the second embodiment of the multi-touch positioning method of the present invention as shown in FIG. 3, and is omitted herein. In one embodiment of the multi-touch positioning method in which the first angle and the second angle are opposite angles, as compared with the flow schematic diagram of the second embodiment of the multi-touch positioning method of the present invention as shown in FIG. 3, determining the position of the touch point according to the first projection position and the second projection position can further include following steps: the first marking position is generated on a second diagonal according to the first projection position, and the second marking position is generated on a second diagonal according to the second projection position, wherein the second diagonal is a connecting line between vertexes of two adjacent angles of the first angle; the first linear function is generated according to a position of the vertex of the opposite angle of the first angle and the first marking position, and the second linear function is generated according to a position of the vertex of the opposite angle of the second angle and the second marking position; and coordinates of the touch point are obtained according to the first linear function and the second linear function.

The present invention captures the touch signal by using the infrared ray generators set at two arbitrary angles of the display panel and the infrared ray image sensors set at the opposite angles of the two angles, to enable the touch screen to recognize multiple touch points simultaneously and achieve a multi-touch positioning function of the touch screen; accuracy for recognizing the touch points is high and the method is easy to carry out.

In the above multi-touch screen using a pair of infrared ray generators and a pair of infrared ray sensor, when the two infrared ray generators are set at two opposite angles of the display panel, the two corresponding infrared ray sensors are located at two opposite angles accordingly, and thus a touch point on a connecting line between vertexes of two opposite angles at which the two infrared ray sensors are respectively located cannot be recognized. In order to improve such situation and further increase the accuracy for recognizing the touch points at the same time, four infrared ray generators set at fourth angles of the display panel and corresponding infrared ray image processors can be adopted simultaneously.

FIG. 5 is a flow schematic diagram of a multi-touch positioning method provided by a second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the present embodiment can comprise following steps.

Step 501: a first infrared ray generator set at a first angle of a display panel emits infrared rays at a first wavelength, a second infrared ray generator set at a second angle emits infrared rays at a second wavelength, a third infrared ray generator set at a third angle emits infrared rays at a third wavelength, and a fourth infrared ray generator set at a fourth angle emits infrared rays at a fourth wavelength.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the multi-touch positioning method provided by the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, an infrared ray image sensor 20, an infrared image sensor 21, an infrared ray image sensor 22, and an infrared ray image sensor 23 are located at four angles of a display panel respectively, as shown by a point A1, a point B1, a point C1, and a point D1. An infrared ray generator 24, an infrared ray generator 25, an infrared ray generator 26, and an infrared ray generator 27 corresponding to the infrared ray image sensors 20, 21, 22, and 23 are respectively located at opposite angles of the angles at which the corresponding infrared ray image sensor 20, 21, 22, and 23 are located, as shown by a point A1′, a point B1′, a point C1′, and a point D1′. Moreover, emission angles of the infrared ray generators 24, 25, 26, and 27 are all greater than or equal to 90 degrees so as to cover the whole display panel, and sensing angles of the infrared ray image sensors 20, 21, 22, and 23 are also greater than or equal to 90 degrees so as to cover the whole display panel. Wavelengths of the infrared ray generators 24, 25, 26, and 27 are different, for example, the wavelengths may be 940 nm, 880 nm, 850 nm, and 830 nm, respectively, and wavelengths of the infrared ray image sensor 20, 21, 22, and 23 may correspondingly be 940 nm, 880 nm, 850 nm, and 830 nm. Two touch points E and F are located on a same straight line ED1.

Step 502: a first infrared ray image sensor set at an opposite angle of the first angle receives the infrared rays of the first wavelength and generates a first infrared ray image, a second infrared ray image sensor set at an opposite angle of the second angle receives the infrared rays of the second wavelength and generates a second infrared ray image, a third infrared ray image sensor set at an opposite angle of the third angle receives the infrared rays of the third wavelength and generates a third infrared ray image, and a fourth infrared ray image sensor set at an opposite angle of the fourth angle receives the infrared rays of the fourth wavelength and generates a fourth infrared ray image.

Filters can be set in front of lens of the infrared ray image sensors 20, 21, 22, and 23 for filtering out light waves outside wavelength ranges corresponding to the infrared ray image sensors 20, 21, 22, and 23, so that imaging on pictures is not interfered. The infrared ray image sensors 20, 21, 22, and 23 can adopt CCD image sensors or CMOS image sensors. In the present invention, a requirement for sensing frequencies of the infrared ray sensors 20, 21, 22, and 23 is that the sensing frequencies are not lower than refreshing rate of image displayed on the display panel. For example, a sensing frequency of the infrared ray image sensors 20, 21, 22, and 23, i.e., a frequency for collecting image data, can be set as 120 Hz, because at present refreshing rates of images displayed on most display panels are lower than or equal to 120 Hz.

Step 503: processings for the first infrared ray image, the second infrared ray image, the third infrared ray image, and the fourth infrared ray image are performed to determine at least one touch point, wherein the processings for the first infrared ray image, the second infrared ray image, the third infrared ray image, and the fourth infrared ray image comprise identification processing and touch point position recognition processing. The identification processing can similarly be implemented by means of determining a first marking position and a second marking position belonging to a same touch point in the multi-touch positioning method provided by the first embodiment of the present invention, and is omitted herein.

In the present embodiment, the processings for the infrared ray images can comprise image correction, analog to digital conversion, discrimination processing, etc.

The present embodiment captures touch signals by using the infrared ray generators set at the four angles of the display panel and the infrared ray image sensors set at opposite angles of the four angles, so that the touch screen is able to recognize multiple touch points simultaneously, the accuracy for recognizing the touch points can be further increased as compared with the touch screen with two infrared ray generators and two infrared ray image sensors, and a multi-touch positioning function of the touch screen is achieved. Therefore, advanced operation functions, such as rotating and zooming a picture with touch by multiple fingers, dragging a video which is currently playing and simultaneously switching windows with touch by multiple fingers, touching multiple folders to perform operations such as dragging or deleting, etc. with touch by multiple fingers, can be implemented on touch systems, and the method is easy to carry out.

FIG. 7 is a flow schematic diagram of the step 503 in the multi-touch positioning method provided by the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, the step 503 in the present embodiment can further comprise following steps.

Step 701: image correction processing is performed for the first infrared ray image, the second infrared ray image, the third infrared ray image, and the fourth infrared ray image.

Since different lens may generate different distortions, resulting in decrease in image brightness of areas around the lens, such that the collected image data is distorted. Therefore, the distortion can be removed by performing the image correction processing for the generated infrared ray images.

Step 702: analog to digital conversion is performed for the first infrared ray image, the second infrared ray image, the third infrared ray image, and the fourth infrared ray image subjected to the image correction processing, to generate a first digital image, a second digital image, a third digital image, and a fourth digital image.

Since the generated infrared ray images are analog signals, they can be converted into digital signals through the analog to digital conversion, so that image signals can be processed in digital signal processors.

Step 703: discrimination processing is performed for the first digital image, the second digital image, the third digital image, and the fourth digital image, to obtain a first projection position in the first digital image, a second projection position in the second digital image, a third projection position in the third digital image, and a fourth projection position in the fourth digital image for the touch point.

Here, a schematic diagram of a correspondence relationship between the digital image and the touch area can be as shown in FIG. 13 or FIG. 14, and is omitted herein.

Step 801: the first marking position is generated on a second diagonal according to the first projection position, the second marking position is generated on a first diagonal according to the second projection position, a third marking position is generated on the second diagonal according to the third projection position, and a fourth marking position is generated on the first diagonal according to the fourth projection position, wherein the first diagonal is a connecting line between a vertex of the first angle and a vertex of the opposite angle of the first angle, and the second diagonal is a connecting line between a vertex of the second angle and a vertex of the opposite angle of the second angle.

Referring to FIG. 6, a point E1 is a marking position of a touch point E on a diagonal B1D1, a point E2 is a marking position of the touch point E on a diagonal A1C1, a point E3 is a marking position of the touch point E on the diagonal B1D1, and a point E4 is a marking position of the touch point E on the diagonal A1C1.

Step 802: a first linear function is generated according to a position of the first infrared ray image sensor (i.e., a position of the vertex of the opposite angle of the first angle) and the first marking position, a second linear function is generated according to a position of the second infrared ray image sensor (i.e., a position of the vertex of the opposite angle of the second angle) and the second marking position, a third linear function is generated according to a position of the third infrared ray image sensor (i.e., a position of the vertex of the opposite angle of the third angle) and the third marking position, and a fourth linear function is generated according to a position of the fourth infrared ray image sensor (i.e., a position of the vertex of the opposite angle of the fourth angle) and the fourth marking position.

Referring to FIG. 6, a function of a straight line C1E1 can be obtained according to a position of the point C1 and a position of the point E1, a function of a straight line D1E2 can be obtained according to a position of the point D1 and a position of the point E2, a function of a straight line A1E3 can be obtained according to a position of the point E3 and a position of the point A1, and a function of a straight line B1E4 can be obtained according to a position of the point E4 and a position of the point B1.

Step 803: coordinates of the touch point are obtained according to the first linear function, the second linear function, the third linear function, and the fourth linear function.

Referring to FIG. 6, the touch point E is an intersection point of the straight line C1E1, the straight line D1E2, the straight line A1E3, and the straight line B1E4, and thus coordinates of the touch point E can be obtained by solving a common solution of the function of the straight line C1E1, the function of the straight line D1E2, the function of the straight line A1E3, and the function of the straight line B1E4, that is, position information of the touch point E is obtained.
